Shared Caged. A shared caged arrangement is a newly constructed caged collocation arrangement that is jointly applied for and occupied by two or more CLECs within a GTE wire center or access tandem. When two or more CLECs request establishment and jointly apply for a new caged collocation arrangement to be used as a shared caged arrangement, one of the participating CLECs must agree to be the host CLEC (HC) and the other(s) to be the guest CLEC (GC). . The HC and GC(s) are solely responsible for determining whether to share a shared caged collocation arrangement and if so, upon what terms and conditions. GTE will not issue separate billing for any of the rate elements associated with the shared caged collocation arrangement between the HC and the GC(s), but GTE will provide the HC with information on the proportionate share of the NRCs for each CLEC in the shared arrangement. The HC will be responsible for ordering and payment of all collocation applicable services ordered by the HC and GC(s). The HC and GC(s) are GTE’s customers and have all the rights and obligations applicable hereunder to CLECs purchasing collocation-related services, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all applicable charges, whether or not the HC is reimbursed for all or any portion of such charges by the guest(s). All terms and conditions for caged collocation as described in this Article IX will apply to shared caged collocation requirements. For additional details on shared caged collocation see GTE’s Collocation Services Packet (CSP), which is described in Section 3.1 below.
